"The Josquin Research Project (JRP) offers digital tools for accessing and analyzing music from ca. 1420-1520. Formed by Jesse Rodin in 2010 at Stanford University, the JRP hosts an ever-expanding database of scores that is fully searchable and browsable in a user-friendly format. Users can search the database by entering any string of pitches, interval successions, and/or rhythms. The JRP also offers a growing menu of analytical tools with which to approach both individual pieces and the repertory as a whole."--About page.
